Why do people make a big deal out of people jumping due to loud sounds? Why do they pick on those people?

I think it is a natural reflex, and I'm so sorry if you or others have been ridiculed for it. Even NTs will jump if the sound is loud or surprising enough. When I am really anxious I jump even at little things like the phone ringing or someone dropping his or her fork. When my wife notices me doing this, she quickly starts to distract me because she knows I'm going to have a meltdown.
